Hi XC,
First 6 months has been great (although doesn't feel like 6 months). I have been busy getting some hours up in various conditions in readiness for the mega fauna. This is going...
There have been only two days in the past two months to fly at my school's location due to wind, so I'd have to say almost any time's better than no flying at all.
Busy but productive few months Ken.... fuel tank, 2nd oil cooler and BRS that we know of beyond scheduled maintenance. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Confidence is the reward.
Cant imagine El Mirage getting more than inches deep like most of the dry lakes, but I know ours can stay wet for months at a time. Spring tends to be windy in the desert though, sometimes quite uncomfortably so.
